That time of year again! I did this kinda post last year...I find them great to see how quotes differ...and hopefully a great help to those who wonder who to try, or if it is worth phoning around (!). Last year I did all the usual suspects, but one which never gets a mention on this board came...

Just a quickie.... Got told by a buddy who was driving behind me that I have puffs of black smoke coming out of the 'zorst under acceleration. I know it hasn't turned into a diesel overnight, so what do you peep's think? It was only serviced a few weeks ago @ TDi North, so it can't be a...

Hi there.... I am pondering getting a single DIN HU with a motorised screen. Wanting to fit the HU in the bottom half of the Double DIN gap, while putting a single DIN in the top half. I notice the 'lean' on the dash and am wondering, combined with the lean-back of a motorised screen, if it...

Ohhhh, wanted one for years! Now after working hard, and being promoted to 'Resort Manager', I have finally got one! Great stuff. Awesome car. Love the sound and feel. Just got to get used to it. I'm only 5'6", so my short ar$e ways are a barrier just now!!! Also need to go the gym, build up me...
